In this passage Peter
encourages the elders, those leaders of the early church, to lead by example
and with humility. He encourages those who are younger in the faith to find
someone more mature and learn from them in humility. Our chief example of this
is Jesus, who is called the chief shepherd. In the context of the early church
in Asia Minor, we are to encourage one another in the faith through the
difficult times of our life.
